This is not possible because the TDM cards were made and designed before thunderbolt existed. PCIe cards need "thunderbolt aware" drivers/firmware to be able to work in a thunderbolt chassis with mac OS

the comparability issues have way more to do with power requirments
of the TDM cards than any driver or software solutions

in fact the thunderbolt chassis will not power up those cards
it Wilson eep the chassis PS frkm turning on

I believe that the new chassis and cards do not supply 5v either
the new cards regulate the 3.3 and 5v on the cards
not via the slot connection

The drivers are an absolute roadblock... worrying about power issues won't get this to work.
